【Energy Bullet (Wolf-class)】

[Skill Description: Can gather an energy-filled light bullet in hand; after firing, the skill enters a cooldown period of 10 seconds.]

[Energy points can be consumed to recharge the energy bullet, increasing its power.]

[Note: Wolf-class energy bullets are only good for bullying weaklings *^_^]

Upgrade Requirements: 1000 Energy Points

Lin Mo's face darkened after reading it. Was the system indirectly calling him a nobody? He thought he had gotten some gold, but it turns out the map of Yan Kingdom is quite long.

Lin Mo got angry for a moment, but who told him to be more tolerant since he was his own leader ←_←.

"System, how many energy points are needed to upgrade the energy bomb to the Ghost level?"

[Reply to Host: Upgrading from Wolf level to Tiger level requires 1000 energy points, and upgrading from Tiger level to Ghost level requires 3000 energy points, for a total of 4000 energy points.]

“Okay, add some!” Lin Mo made the decision without hesitation.

[Energy Points -4000, Skill 'Energy Blast (Wolf Level)' is upgrading...]

[Upgrade successful! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Energy Blast (Demon-level)!]

【Energy Bullet (Demon-level)】

[Skill Description: This skill allows the user to gather a high-density energy beam in their hand, which is extremely powerful. After firing, the skill enters a cooldown period of 3 seconds.]

[Energy points can be consumed to recharge the energy projectile. A recharged energy projectile will be more powerful and will also have a 'penetration' or 'explosion' effect.]

[Note: The power of the Demon-level energy blast is already sufficient to inflict effective damage on "Demon" monsters. Still need to work harder *^O^*]

Upgrade Requirements: 10000 Energy Points

"A Demon-level... at least it's somewhat useful."

Lin Mo opened his palm, and with a thought, a ball of energy the size of a basketball, radiating a bright blue light, appeared out of thin air in his palm, emitting a "buzzing" sound and illuminating the entire room with a bright blue light.

Chapter 38 Meteorite Attack

The peaceful day was shattered by a deafening alarm.

The alarm at the Z City Hero Association branch sounded its loudest shriek ever.

That was the highest level of alarm signifying the impending destruction of the city—"Dragon"!

"What happened?"

The head of the Z City Hero Association branch pushed open the door to the command room and immediately saw the huge meteorite with a long trail of flame rapidly falling to the ground on the main screen.

His calm demeanor crumbled instantly.

"A massive, high-energy reactive object has been detected approaching Z City! Based on its trajectory, it is expected to impact the ground in ten minutes! Threat level predicted... 'Dragon'!"

A staff member's fingers trembled as he typed on the keyboard, his voice distorted.

"Damn it! How come such a huge meteorite was only discovered now!?"

The person in charge, his eyes bloodshot, grabbed the collar of the minister in charge of space monitoring next to him and roared angrily:

"What are you bunch of good-for-nothings doing! You take the money every day and this is the result you give me!?"

The minister's face was ashen, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The way this meteorite appeared was so bizarre; it seemed to have jumped into near-Earth orbit out of thin air, completely bypassing all the early warning systems in outer space.

By the time they realized it, it was too late.

The person in charge shoved him away, forcing himself to calm down, knowing that anger wouldn't solve anything.

Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed to the communications station and directly connected to the emergency hotline of the Hero Association headquarters in City A.

The call was answered almost instantly, and the same extremely serious voice of the association's staff officer, Sitch, came through the receiver: "I already know the details."

"All S-class heroes recorded as active in Z City and the surrounding area have been urgently notified."

Sitch spoke very quickly, revealing his inner anxiety.

He naturally remembered what KING had told him not long ago: that a meteorite powerful enough to destroy the city would appear in Z City.

To this end, he specifically applied for special funds to upgrade the space monitoring systems in various cities, especially the disaster alarm system in City Z, which was of paramount importance.

But... reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.

This meteorite seemed to appear out of thin air; it was already close to impact when it was discovered!

In such a short time, there is simply no time to gather S-class heroes to form an effective defensive line!

"Report! S-Class Rank 8, Drive Knight, is currently on a classified mission in the western part of City A. He is too far away to arrive in time!"

"Report! S-rank 2, Ms. Trembling Tornado, is dealing with another 'Demon' level disaster in F City and cannot be contacted temporarily. Her communicator is in a signal jamming zone!"

"Report! S-rank 3rd-ranked Master Silver Fang Bangu has been confirmed to be in Z City and has been deployed!"

"Report! S-Class Rank 14, the cyborg Genos, has been confirmed to be in Z City. We have already mobilized!"

"Damn it..." Listening to the reports from the staff around him, Sitch clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Bang and Genos are both powerful S-class heroes, but are they really enough to deal with a natural disaster of this scale?

This meteorite... could it be divine punishment sent down by the gods, specifically to exterminate humanity? A pessimistic thought flashed through Sitch's mind.

But he quickly shook off this useless negative emotion and said, "Who else is an S-class hero who can arrive in Z City in time?"

"Among the S-class heroes, only Genos and Bang are confirmed to be near Z-City... Wait a minute!"

"The system shows... S-rank sixth, Mr. KING, he's also in Z City!" an intelligence analyst exclaimed.

Sich was initially surprised, then overjoyed.

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is!" Sitch muttered to himself as if he had grasped at a straw.

"Mr. King is also in Z City! Everything makes sense now!" His voice suddenly rose, filled with unprecedented confidence.

"He foresaw the meteorite's arrival, which is why he went to Z City to make arrangements in advance! He must be working on resolving it now!"

The idea spread rapidly through the command center like a virus.

"That's right! It's Mr. King! He warned us a long time ago!"

"How could the strongest man on Earth be helpless against a mere tiny meteorite?"

"So that's why Mr. King suddenly went to a place like Z City, it was to save us!"

"We're saved! Z City is saved!"

------

Meanwhile, in City Z.

A black dot appeared in the once vast sky, and as time went by, that black dot evolved into a colossal object visible to the naked eye.

Chaos reigned in the streets as people fled in all directions like headless flies. Cries, screams, and crashes mingled together, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.

Countless citizens collapsed to the ground, gazing up at the ever-approaching meteorite in the sky, completely giving up resistance and awaiting death.

But soon, the city's emergency broadcasting system, everyone's mobile phones, and electronic billboards on the street all simultaneously broadcast an emergency news message.

On the radio, the host's voice trembled slightly with excitement, yet it was full of power:

"Fellow citizens, please do not give up hope! We have just received confirmation from the Hero Association headquarters!"

"The sixth-ranked S-class hero, the strongest man on Earth—Mr. KING—is currently in our Z City! He is dealing with this disaster!"

The previously silent crowd suddenly erupted into a huge shout.

"What? Mr. King is here?"

"Really? That's great! Lord King can definitely handle it! He's King, after all!"

"Look at the news! It's true! The Hero Association has confirmed it! We're saved!!"

The name "KING" dispelled fear and ignited a glimmer of hope.

Hope flickered in people's eyes. They stopped running and looked up at the sky, hoping for the man to appear.

On the other side, Lin Mo was intently watching the TV screen, his fingers flying across the game controller as he and Saitama engaged in a fierce fighting game duel.

Meanwhile, Genos was meticulously wiping the furniture.

"Jingle Bell!"

Lin Mo picked up his phone, answered the call, and said in a calm tone, "Hello, how can I help you?"

“Mr. KING! A giant meteorite is approaching Z City! Threat level 'Dragon'! We need an S-class hero for emergency rescue!” The voice of the association contact person on the other end of the phone was urgent and fast.

"A meteorite? So fast?" Lin Mo was startled and glanced at the bald guy who was still playing nearby.

Almost at the same time, Genos, who was far away, also froze in place, having received the same information.

On the other end of the phone, the contact person's urgent voice came through again: "Where are you now? Can you respond immediately?"

Lin Mo didn't hesitate and said briefly, "I'm in Z City, I'll resolve this as soon as possible."

Before he could finish speaking, he hung up the phone and grabbed Saitama by the collar of his cape, who was still cheering for a successful combo in the game.

Saitama, looking completely bewildered, was lifted up by him: "Hey, what's wrong? I'm about to win this round..."

Lin Mo didn't have time to explain; he exchanged a glance with Genos. Their eyes met, and they instantly exchanged information.

The three of them shot off like arrows, ignoring the stairs and elevators, opening the window and leaping out, heading towards the tallest building in Z City.

Chapter 39 Meteorite Ambush (4k)

The tallest building in Z City is the "Sky Tower," a commercial and tourist complex that pierces the clouds, standing over 600 meters tall, and is the city's absolute landmark.

At this moment, it is about to become the final battleground for heroes to fight against natural disasters.

Amidst howling winds, three figures leaped from the ground at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow, landing steadily on the helipad atop the tower.

Almost at the same moment they landed, another aged yet exceptionally agile figure appeared like a ghost beside them—it was the white-haired "Silver Fang"—Bang.

"Oh? King, Genos, and... who is this?"
